Cleveland Browns tight end Kellen Winslow has told the world that he wants to be the best in the NFL at his position. He even went as far as saying he is “the best” tight end in football this year. The media has turned these comments into a three ring circus.

I believe Winslow is a confident not cocky player. He hasn’t questioned the opponent’s talent; he is just talking proudly about himself. The Browns are losing on a regular basis; this type of passion may put a much needed charge into this offense.

San Diego Chargers outside linebacker Shawne Merriman announced that he’s going to drop his appeal and start serving his four-game suspension due to a positive steroids test. That leaves the 2005 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year and 2006 co-leader in sacks ineligible for Sunday’s game against the Browns.

The Browns are going to need all the help they can get this weekend. The Chargers boast one of the league’s best defenses and have a guy by the name of LaDainian Tomlinson on the other side of the ball. In his first season as a starter, Philip Rivers isn’t doing too bad as well. Merriman being out is one less thing the Browns have to worry about but the Chargers will still be a formidable test for the “rejuventated” Browns, much more so than the Jets.

Romeo Crennel, head coach of the Cleveland Browns, finally decided to pull the trigger and release Maurice Carthon as offensive coordinator. The general belief is that GM Phil Savage forced Crennel to make this move and is still uneasy about why Romeo waited so long.

Terry Pluto writes an interesting article on why this change was necessary and hopefully the correct decision.
